The development and production of complex oil filter modules has long been a core competence of MAHLE. The approach regarding "engine lubrication and cooling" as a complete system enables solutions for the integration of many other functions in addition to the filtration and cooling of lubricant oil for pressure, and temperature control purposes. These include oil separation, sensors for pressure and temperature control, regulation of oil pressure and crankcase housing pressure control as well as the optional integration of a fuel cooler. This integration and the use of state-of-the-art materials-in particular high-performance plastics - results in considerable cost and weight savings. Fully incinerable eco-filter elements are increasingly being used, which are easy to change and dispose of. Long-life filter elements based on leading-edge filter media and production processes play an essential role in extending the service intervals.
